Now that the Banquet Event is over, here’s why I miss the Gifting Event (and liked it better)
I love the idea of being able to just buy your own crystals with units, so that part of the Banquet event should stay…. But…. Everything else about it was basically the gifting event minus the camaraderie. Not having gifting took away the fun of “hey you wanna trade 3? What’d you get? Let’s do 3 more!” I opened and spent far less this year because none of that fun was there. People still complained about it being a pay to win event anyway, so let’s bring back the fun you have with your alliance mates and friends.
Some of us use gifting as something fun to participate in all year with the payoff being the event. We do things like pop a 6* crystal simultaneously with an alliance mate and whoever gets the best pull wins a ggc. Or worse pull gets a ggc. (Rules set before opening the crystal lol). Or having challenges like which champ can clear faster by having winner get a ggc. (Had planned on doing the same with BG friendly matches). We keep a tally all year and once gifting would start, everyone would send out their gifts and do even more challenges once it was live. All the fun of the event was gone. It was just opening crystals like any other day. Didn’t have the same vibe or fun factor…at least for me.
